"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.

Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

ME3 Tali: Progress

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 10, 2013, 2:24 PM


My work schedule isn't going to change anytime soon so now is as good a time as any to start to build the model, since it's been unfolded for a while. But I don't think I can do a power build over 1-2 weeks like previous ones due to less free time, so this will be a slower job, chipping away in the evenings and maybe some longer sessions in at the weekends.

So here goes! Y'know I find weapons a big chore after doing the rest of the character...so this time I'm attempting the gun first! Actually it's more because I realised I printed a faint lined template instead of lineless for the legs PDO :doh: so I thought I'd start on this in the meantime.

10th June: Scimitar starts! The raised side sections are pretty bent, so I shall print a fresh neat surface to stick over later.

11th June: All this from 2 nights! Did I mention I hate making the guns?

12th June: Gun done. Side fins are a bit fiddly. This paper is 160gsm yet rather soft and doesn't hold angular shapes too well.

13th June: I built a leg.

14th June: And another one. Roll on the weekend!

15-16th June: All joined up legs. These textures look great! Then later, worked up most of the body.

More coming as time goes by. Maybe not every day but I hope to get a nice easy pace going.

XenonRay's Profile Picture
*XenonRay

About Me:
I'm a masters graduate geologist from north west of England. I like to keep my mind busy with digital painting, 3D modelling and papercraft. Other interests include history, classic novels, fossil hunting, airsoft and golf.

I'm fascinated with historical military designs, particularly from about 1800-1918 and all the related themes that go with them.

I'm very picky over what I like on DA, but admittedly I'm looking for people to watch and give me inspiration. Will also be interested in trades or collaborations with users similarly skilled to myself.

Find me on Steam as Xenon/XenonRay or account ID 'fluoric'. EA Origin account is also named XenonRay. Make sure you note me first though so I know who you are!

Thank you for the llama badge, I love your work with papercraft, I want to do some of your models, do you have one of a deku scrub?

Right now I've just got the 'Elegy of Emptiness Deku' on my blog: [link] Apart from Icthus7's Deku Link I think this the only other Deku model out there. There used to be a Mad Scrub template which I did in 2008 but it was poor quality so I ended up removing it.

I'll check it out, thanks for the link =)

You're welcome, and I can't believe I forgot: there's also a Deku Palace Guard listed there too.

Hi, I've got a question/request. I love your work!

Do you have any plans to make a sovereign-class reaper papercraft? I would love to have one hanging in my room.
:D

Thank you but no sorry my focus is on the character models. Although many ME ships have some interesting designs, I've not got any real desire to create papercrafts of them.

No problem! ;)

I am currently in the middle of building your papercraft of Garrus and was wondering if are working on any other characters. Your models are very well done, but I was hoping someone out there had created a Legion papercraft. Crazy I know lol

Thank you, Legion is currently in the works by DaiShiHUN with progress currently posted here: [link]. We keep our models to roughly the same scale, though his tend to be more complex.
